Hi,
First, I appreciate there is a dedicated Baja Rey 1/10th thread and plenty of discussion about diff fluid n the Rock Rey but I wanted to ask a specific question.

I just bought a Baja Rey 1/10th and am blown away by it. I replaced the servo straight out of the box (since it is terrible) and shoo goo'd the panels. Other wise it is stock and, I think, runds really well on loose/dusty surfaces.

My only complaint is the 'pizza cutter' tyre deformation when cornering. I doesn't seem to do any real harm but it looks terrible

I was thinking of increasing the weight of the centre diff oil a bit but wonder if that would spoil other aspects of the truck's handling. Additionally, I guess the 'release' of power via the spinning front wheel reduces the loading on the rear diff under hard acceleration so maybe it helps to improve reliability too?

Has anyone else experimented with the centre diff and what did you learn?

Thanks.
